From the web site: “Kenai Fjords can be a challenging place to visit, with much of it only accessible from the water. The waters around Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay provide a unique experience, whether seeing the awe-inspiring power of a tidewater glacier and the expanse of the Gulf of Alaska.” The challenging aspect is characteristic of many of the parks in Alaska. Sometimes that can read expensive sometimes hard to get to and often both are true. Kenai Fjords is not hard to tour if you go on one of the boats out of Seward. We chose one that was full day and with the National Park ranger on board. I think it was a good choice. We saw the ice floes and glaciers from the boat but a side benefit was the rich marine life: whales, sea birds, otters, and seals were plentiful. There is also a land section of the park called Exit Glacier near Seward that you can hike to and we did that as well. The photos are self explanatory and since captions are not loading properly I will just say here the scenery is much more magnificent than these photos convey and the experience of seeing so many animals rather close is unforgettable. Kenai Fjords was my least favorite of the National Parks we visited in Alaska and it would still be worth the trip to Alaska to see if it were the only park - Alaska is a wondrous place and three months there flew by and there was so much to still explore. Breathtaking experiences.
